When Melee came out it was big, but it felt like it was big to the world of Nintendo. Brawl had Snake and Sonic give it more attention, but it still felt like it was just a big Nintendo release rather than a big release in gaming. Was it somewhere around 4?

I remember the hype leading up to Brawl was absolutely massive. Only Halo 3 had it beat.

Brawl had massive hype, but it was nowhere near the hype for 4 or Ultimate

I don't think any of you are actually reading the topic post. Being a big Nintendo release is not the same as being a big release. Smash 64 was just another N64 game, Melee was a big Gamecube game, but it wasn't the crazy must play hype amongst casuals that Ultimate has

It's been like this since Melee. The games have always sold a shit ton of copies, they're literally system sellers. People love playing Smash, it's one of the ideal games to throw on when hanging out with people

No it isn't. Kirby All Star Allies and ARMS were big Switch releases, but were not a big video game release.

I disagree.

Brawl felt bigger.

Especially since it was on Wii which sold like absolute fucking gangbusters.

What planet do you live on TC? Smash or anything Nintendo does hasn't been big to the industry as a whole in more than 2 decades, it's only big in their own personal spheres of attention which seem big due to their zealot fanboys spamming shit on forums nonstop

No, why? Nintendo exist in their own bubble detached from everyone else in the world and industry. Nobody cares when Nintendo related shit drops anymore except their ever shrinking pool of zealot fanboys who spam their shit endlessly to compensate for the lack of an actual sizable fanbase.

The only exception is Pokemon which is dead to true Pokemon fans anyway

Brawl had Snake and Sonic give it more attention

That's because Kojima asked Sakurai to put Snake in Melee, but he asked too late in production. So he was added to Brawl. And once one third party was in, they couldn't justify not having Sonic in.

So I guess we can thank Kojima for getting the ball rolling. I'd say between Melee and Brawl was when it became a huge thing rather than just a cool Nintendo novelty.

Definitely since Brawl.

Why do you think so many people bash the game online? Its because the install base of the Wii was so huge that everyone had one

It's always been popular, but I'd say Brawl is where it became much more of cultural phenomenon versus merely a popular franchise.
